  • Optimization of staged rankine energy conversion cycles for high efficiency

    Creator:
    Simmons, Larry Dean
    Abstract:
    Because of the fuel crisis and problems associated with thermal pollution there is new impetus and urgency for developing more efficient energy conversion systems for power generation. A preliminary analysis was undertaken to determine the potential of staged Rankine cycle systems for substantially higher efficiency. It was necessary to optimize...

  • Analysis of energy conversion systems, including material and global warming aspects

    Creator:
    Zhang, Mingyuan
    Abstract:
    With the rapid increase of the world energy demand and consumption, the method and techniques to analyze, improve and optimize energy conversion systems have to deal not only with direct fuel exergy (energy) consumption, but also with other resources, which have associated exergy consumptions, and with environmental impacts, such as...
